Liberia flag issued technical letter and it is issued to bring to the attention of RO’s the requirement to promptly advise the Administration by email to RegsandStandards@liscr.com of cases where the original classification status of a vessel is temporarily changed or certain material and/or operational restrictions are imposed. Similarly, the Administration shall be advised when a vessel is deemed fit to proceed to sea.
In this regard, and notwithstanding any IACS REC 75 data communicated to the Administration using the API set up for this purpose, prior to issuing or extending any Class Condition of a serious structural nature that requires temporary/permanent repair before departure port; any Class Condition related to equipment/machinery; and all Statutory Conditions for a vessel, the RO shall promptly request the Administration for its agreement, along with any recommendation for correcting the same.
If agreed, the Administration will grant the minimum period required to rectify the Condition, but not exceeding a period of one (1) month for any Condition related to equipment/machinery; or if linked to a dispensation issued by the Administration, the duration is to be aligned with the dispensation.
